Thanks for doing this. Here are my observations of the process.

Windows 10 Pro, version 1903, OS Build 18362.476

Note: I have an existing berrybrew installation, and this seems not to be expected by the installer.

========

Symantex Download Insight ate the file. After extraction from quarantine it ran.

I saw one cmd window flash past.

The second window ran the strawberry perl download. (This takes a little while, so a download progress indicator or spinner would be nice).

Once that completed a few more cmd windows flashed past.

On opening a clean cmd window I ran echo %PATH%. The strawberry perl instance is in the path at the front, but the newly installed berrybrew is not. 

berrybrew version
1.22

"c:\Program Files (x86)\berrybrew\bin\berrybrew.exe" version
1.27

[download]

So it seems to have done everything except put berrybrew itself in the path. Note that I have not tried rebooting to see if it gets picked up that way.

On uninstall it removes the c:\program files(x86)\berrybrew folder. The strawberry perl it installed is still there. It has, however, removed my pre-existing berrybrew from the path.
